JD, I know what you're referring to (the "paah" sound - c'mon guys, sound it out, and you'll get the sound that most China cymbals produce). Currently, I am playing on an 18" A Custom China. In my opinion, it is very musical, and it emits that characteristic "paah" sound when it is struck. I do, however, want to try the Sabian Hand Hammered Chinas, though.
